OFX is the standard path for French bank exports. Legacy parses transactions locally, runs recognition rules, and posts unmatched lines to suspense account 470.
Steps
- Open Journal and set BNQ to one bank (512, 513, 514, or 530) — not All.
- Tap the import icon → choose OFX (not general CSV).
- Pick your .ofx file (extension must be .ofx).
- Review the preview (transaction count, suggested opening balance on a virgin bank).
- Confirm — recognised lines get their account; others go to 470.
